Part 5 – A devilishly good paellaa

Today my hosts had a birthday party. Of course, such a party cannot be without delicious food. So Alexandra, Andrés' mother, decided to cook paella. She showed us step by step how she cooks it and what to pay special attention to.

STEP 1

(Picture at the top) First the diced meat is fried in olive oil. Today it was chicken and pork, but you can also use other meat. Or you can exchange the meat for seafood.

STEP 2

Then add carrots, colorful peppers, onions and tomatoes and let the mixture simmer a bit.

STEP 3

When the vegetables are half cooked, put the meat-vegetable mixture on one half of the pan and spread uncooked rice on the other half. Make sure that the rice is evenly distributed. Then broth is added and everything is mixed together.

STEP 4

After about 5 minutes, sugar snap peas and olives are spread on the almost finished paella. Then it just has to simmer until the rice is ready. To speed up the cooking process Alexandra uses banana leaves to cover the pan. Afterwards the leaves are used to keep the rice warm.

And as Alexandra likes to say:

“Every woman has to know the devil to know how to cook.”
